[imp] Calling IMP thru XML-RPC

Thank you Jan. xmlrpc extension is now installed. Authentication still fails.

I tried the following two Python lines with the same result:
 
server.imp.authenticate({'userID':'webmaster','credentials':'SECRET','params':
{'server':'imap1'}   })

and 

 server.imp.authenticate({'userID':'webmaster','credentials':'SECRET')

and I also tried to intentionally call a non-existent xmlrpc method:

 server.imp.neo()

and the result was always the same:

Here is the captured XML request generated by this line:  
server.imp.authenticate({'userID':'webmaster','credentials':'SECRET','params':
{'server':'imap1'}   })

Are the parameters structured correctly in the xmlrpc request?
